New Commission: “Striped Blitz”

“Striped Blitz” 2011

Acryilic and Aerosol on Canvas

Original and Prints Available.

Being from South Florida I normally wouldnt paint a striped bass scene, as it is not what I fish for, nor do we get them down here, although my brother had pulled one from the spillway a few years back. I was commissioned to do this painting for a new shirt design for Shore Thing, targeting the Mid-Atalantic to Northern US market. Just in time for my upcoming trip to LBI New Jersey where I’ll be targeting this highly popularized species.

Update:”I love Florida”-ink drawings-

I was scanning in a lot of my Pen and Ink reference drawings and decided to share some with you below, some differ in line quality and shading. I use these drawings for a number of uses from reference for paintings to application on Apparel. I Also put together a quick composition just messin around with the drawings…ENJOY!

News: New Mural in Melbourne Australia

a big thank you to andrew at ‘until never’ gallery for giving me the wall space to paint, as part of Melbourne’s City Lights Projects! After two days I completed this mural in downtown Melbourne right across from the National Gallery of Victoria, beneath the ‘Until Never’ gallery! A high traffic and highly publicized area. I was amazed at the Heaps of people taking tours of the street wall, which was adorned with other murals from artists around Australia, and the World. Enjoy!
